State Police in Ithaca are asking for help identifying a woman who climbed over the counter of several eateries within the food court of The Shops at Ithaca Mall in Lansing.

She then went to a second eatery, was unsuccessful at opening the register, and made herself a slushy. The woman was also seen jumping over the counter at a third eatery and again attempted to gain entry into another cash register but was unable to.
